Mathematics

Subtract 13 from both sides

-5x = -17 - 13

Simplify -17 - 13 to -30

-5x = -30

Divide both sides by -5

x = -30/-5

Two negatives make a positive

x = 30/5

Simplify 30/5 to 6

<u>x = 6</u>

<u><em>Answer: x=6 and 6=x *The answer should be have positive sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a-c=b-c

subtract by 13 both sides of an equation.

-5x+13-13=-17-13

simplify by equation.

-5x=-30

then divide by -5 both sides of an equation.

-5x-5=-30/-5

simplify by equation.

30/5=6

30/6=5

6*5=30

5*6=30

It change negative to positive.

x=6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

The ratio of two complementary angles is 17:13. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
Mariana [72]
We know by definition that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. We can set up an equation using the ration given:

17x+13x=90, with x representing the amount you need to multiply the ratio by to get 90.

17x+13x=90
30x=90
x=3

We now know that the number we multiply the ratio by is 3. The smaller number in the ratio is 13, and so therefore we multiply it by 3.

3*13=39

The answer is 39 degrees.

Solve 3x-4=√(2x^2-2x+2)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin the solution by squaring both sides of the given equation.  We get:

(3x - 4)^2 = 2x^2 - 2x + 2, or:

9x^2 - 24x + 16 = 2x ^2 - 2x + 2

Combining like terms results in:

7x^2 - 22x + 14 = 0

and the coefficients are a = 7, b = -22, c = 14, so that the discriminant of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac becomes (-22)^2 - 4(7)(14) = 92

According to the quadratic formula, the solutions are

       -b ± √discriminant           -(-22) ± √92             22 ± √92

x = ------------------------------- = ----------------------- = ------------------------

                   2a                                   14                            14
